Bath and Body Travel Packettes: Q&A with Lisa Hoffman

Posted: March 31, 2008

GCI: What’s the most important thing a business traveler should remember when packing?

Lisa Hoffman: Keep it simple. Keep it light. Carry on luggage, whenever possible, and don’t be afraid to wear the same outfit several times.

GCI: What advice can you offer frequent business travelers in the beauty industry to relieve stress?

Lisa Hoffman: Since I travel frequently, I’ve experienced my fair share of stressful travel days. I listen to classical music on my iPod, and I apply a little bit of my favorite soothing scent to help calm my nerves. I really enjoy knitting as a way to relieve stress. I love to knit because I can do it while I talk to people or while I’m watching a movie on a long flight. And, I like to read novels that take me away from all my responsibilities—like a mini vacation.
